Iga Swiatek overwhelmed Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 in the most lopsided womens Wimbledon final in 114 years, securing her sixth Grand Slam title.
The Polish eighth seed, who has now triumphed in all six major finals she has contested, dominated from the very first point and completed her victory in only 57 minutes.
This is the first time since 1911 that a woman has won a Wimbledon final without losing a single game. Furthermore, Swiatek, 24, becomes only the second player in the Open era to secure a major championship without dropping a game in the final, following Steffi Grafs victory over Natalia Zvereva at the 1988 French Open. She conceded merely one set throughout her journey to the final.
However, the 13th-seeded Anisimova was expected to present a formidable challenge after defeating world number one Aryna Sabalenka in the semifinals. The American experienced a shaky start in the sweltering conditions on Centre Court. She was broken in the opening game and quickly fell behind 2-0, which boded poorly for her chances.
Although she seemed to gather some momentum in her next service game, the determined Swiatek wouldn't relent and surged ahead to 3-0 following a double fault from Anisimova.
